The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) will debut a new art fair, The AIPAD Photography Show Miami, from Wednesday, December 5 through Sunday, December 9, 2007, and will open with an invitational preview tonight, Tuesday, December 4, from 6 to 10 p.m.

Forty-three of the world's leading fine art photography galleries will present a wide range of museum quality work by 19th-century, modern and contemporary masters. The exhibition will be held at a tented venue located at NW 31st Street and North Miami Avenue in the Wynwood Art District of Miami, FL. The show will be held side-by-side with Photo Miami, and the combined venues will feature well over 100 photography booths, making the dual venue the largest showing of photography in the world. The show hours are coordinated so that you can easily visit both venues.

The regular show hours will be this Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. More information is also posted up on the AIPAD website at: http://www.aipad.com/photoshow/ .

AIPAD is well known for the prestigious fair, the AIPAD Photography Show New York, which is held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City in April. The new dates for the 28th edition of the fair in New York are April 10-13, 2008. The AIPAD Photography Show is the longest running and foremost exhibition of fine art photography.

Contemporary Works/Vintage Works will be one of the exhibitors here in Miami. You can see us at the very back left of the exhibition near the back lounge area in booths 117 and 118. Most of our featured contemporary artists are expected to be in attendance at various times during the show. Their images are on our website at http://.www.contemporaryworks.net . The artists attending will include, Arthur Tress, Michael Smith, Lisa Holden, Claudia Kunin, Vladimir Birgus and Michael Philip Manheim. Stop by the booth to check on the days that they will be attending. Most will be there from Dec.4 or 5 through Dec. 9.

We will also show a key selection of top 20th-century vintage masterworks, including work from Irving Penn, Man Ray, Raul Ubac, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Francois Kollar, Brassai, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertesz, Walker Evans, Horst, Josef Sudek, Edward Weston, Doris Ulman, Lewis Hine and Edouard Boubat. In addition we will have several important portfolios and books, including one of Manuel Alverez Bravo's work (and printed by him) and a pigment print portfolio of Frantisek Drtikol for sale at the show. Also ask to see our latest "finds" which we will show to our special clients who are newsletter readers. We will also have a number of new 19th-century masterworks, but these will be "underneath" or in our closet, so you will have to ask to see them.
